Comment:


This beautiful piece with great detail will add charm to any room!


Origin:


France


Date:


1930


Material:


 CHALKWARE


Chalkware is a term that refers to decorative items made out of gypsum, which were very popular from the late 18th century through the 1930s. Gypsum is a mineral compound also called sulphate of lime, which is usually found underground near limestone deposits. Raw gypsum is a pure white crystal called alabaster. When gypsum is heated, the resulting white powder is called burnt gypsum, also known as Plaster of Paris for the large gypsum deposit at Montmartre in Paris. Ordinary schoolroom chalk is also a form of burnt gypsum. Gypsum is easily cast into sculptures and decoration for frames, but is quite soft and breaks easily.




 Condition


 Condition:


 GOOD


In overall good condition. Antique and vintage items by their very nature show normal wear to finish and miscellaneous scratches, nicks, and dings due to age and use. As we define 'good condition' relative to the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include nicks or dings to a wooden, metal, enamel, or chalkware object, wear to a painted surface, speckling on a mirror, crazing, wear to gilding, or manufacturing glaze skips in ceramic finish, wear to a label, and some original decorative trim may be missing. If ceramic/porcelain restoration has been done, it is of museum-quality so that it is hardly discernible and would be specifically mentioned in the listing. 'Good condition' could include very small fleabite chips or very small hairline cracks in any glass, ceramic, or marble item, but these would be specifically mentioned in the listing.


 Item Specifics:


There is damage to the nose.


 Shipping


 Free Shipping:


Free shipping only applies within the Contiguous 48 United States and this item will be shipped via a Ground shipping service (UPS or FedEx), approximate 1-6 business day shipping time. EuroLux Antiques may ship some packages via USPS Parcel Post, approximately 2-9 business day delivery time, at its sole discretion. All shipments include insurance.

 Subject:


OUR LADY OF LOURDES, MADONNA OF LOURDES


On February 11, 1858, a 14-year-old girl, Bernadette Soubirous, claimed a beautiful lady appeared to her in the remote Grotto of Massabielle, outside Lourdes, France. The lady appeared to Bernadette eighteen times over the next six months and identified herself as the Immaculate Conception. Catholics believe this to be an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. She was wearing a blue sash around her waist, a rosary on her arm and had roses at her feet. The spring water from the grotto is also believed to possess healing properties and the Catholic Church has recognized 67 miracle healings from it. Saint Bernadette was canonized in 1933.


 Since the apparitions, Lourdes has become one of the world's leading Catholic pilgrimage sites, with an estimated 200 million pilgrims since 1860, and 4 - 6 million visitors annually. Pope John Paul II visited the shrine twice and Pope Benedict XVI visited in September 2008 to mark the 150th anniversary.

Style:


RELIGIOUS


Religion is often described as a communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system of thought, unseen being, person, or object that is considered sacred, divine, or of the highest truth. The Christian religion is centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God.


 Christianity has played a prominent role in shaping Western civilization since the 4th century. Currently Christianity has between 1.5 billion and 2.1 billion followers, representing about a quarter to a third of the world's population. With more than 1 billion members, the Roman Catholic Church is the largest church representing over half of all Christians and one sixth of the world's population.

 Hatch these fascinating triops, or "dinosaur shrimp," and watch them swim, eat, and grow to 1-3" long in just 30 days! These crustaceans are advertised as "Triassic Triops" and have eggs that can stay dormant for 25 years, until conditions are right for hatching. Put them in water, and they will hatch within 24 hours and begin to grow rapidly. Triops are entertaining to watch as they swim, use tiny legs on their bellies to carry food to their mouths, and breathe through gills in their feet.

Material:


 CERAMIC


The word ceramic originates from the ancient Greek word keramikos, meaning potter's clay. The practice of making ceramics has been in existence for nearly 30,000 years. Clay, the primary ingredient for any ceramic, is primarily made of aluminum silicate, which is a malleable soil from crumbling rocks. Ceramics can be grouped according to the type of clay used, the temperature at which the clay is fired, and the duration of the firing.

 Condition:


 VERY GOOD


In overall very good condition. Antique and vintage items by their very nature show normal wear to finish and miscellaneous scratches, nicks, and dings due to age and use. As we define 'very good condition' relative to the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include minor nicks or dings to a wooden, metal, enamel or chalkware object, minor wear to a painted surface, minor speckling on a mirror, light crazing, wear to gilding, or small manufacturing glaze skips in ceramic finish, or slight wear to a label. If ceramic/porcelain restoration has been done, it is of museum-quality so that it is hardly discernible and would be specifically mentioned in the listing. 'Very good condition' would not include chips or cracks in any glass or ceramic item, but could include very minor fleabite chips to the edges of a marble item.


 Item Specifics:


The entire set shows crazing under the glaze and wear to the gold rims due to age and use. The bowl, pitcher, and soap dish also show discoloration.

 Additional Information


 Mark:


 NIMY


The faience manufacture of Nimy (Nimy-lez-Mons) was established in 1789 in Nimy, Belgium by Dieudonne-Joseph Antoine and two investors from the de Bousies family. The factory struggled to survive at first, but eventually sales increased due to the introduction of polychrome decorations and the opening of several retail locations in Belgium. However, by the 1830s, the company was struggling again and was eventually sold to Jean-Pierre Mouzin (of Boch Freres Keramis in La Louviere) in 1849. After a re-organization in 1851, the company continued under the name Mouzin-Lecat and Co and enjoyed prosperity once again, reaching the pinnacle of success in 1897 with 675 workers. However, sales began to slide again and the impact of two wars caused the company to permanently close in 1950.


 Style:


ART DECO STYLE


World War I brought a sobering end to the lavish Art Nouveau style and a new modern, streamlined aesthetic developed in the 1920s and 1930s that eventually was known as Art Deco style. After WWI, the extravagance and excessive carvings found on Victorian and Revival styles was seen as outdated. Consumers wanted simplicity in design, and at the same time were fascinated with the new technological advancements in society, including the automobile, the airplane, the radio, television and skyscrapers, such as the Chrysler building and the Empire State Building in New York City.


Early Art Deco style is marked by sweeping curves, which give the impression of speed and velocity and the aerodynamic nature of automobiles and airplanes. Art Deco style can be understood as the celebration of the Machine Age, the optimism of spirit that proclaimed the future is here brought by technology. At the same time, there was a feeling of disconnection with the past and a rebellion against societal norms during the Roaring Twenties, which was expressed by the Flappers, young women who threw off their girdles, cut their hair short, smoked, drank, and danced all night in the Jazz clubs. Such a break in tradition demanded a bold, new and dramatic style and Art Deco fit the bill.


As the Art Deco style developed, there was a shift away from sweeping curves to rectilinear lines and geometric shapes, however the shapes were often fractionated forms that mirrored the contemporary Cubist art of Pablo Picasso. Hallmarks of the Art Deco style include geometric shapes, trapezoids, zigzags, chevron patterns, a sunburst motif and the stylized use of gazelles, deer, and birds, as well as a bold and dramatic color palette. Bright green, red, orange, yellow, and blue were found everywhere, especially on the cheery dishware line called Fiestaware in the US. Pink and black was also a favorite color combination. After the stock market crash of 1929 when 25% of the US was unemployed, inexpensive Art Deco wares remained popular as the vibrant colors boosted spirits and the focus on technology and the future gave promise that things would get better.
